  • the motor 110 is driven to vertically move the optical bench 106 in response to a command from the control means 410, while the motor 109 is driven to horizontally move the apochromatic lens 103.
  • setting of the magnification is completed.
  • the operator sets the original 501 on the center of a table 130 in the original scanning part 100 so that the image 502 faces down (step S2).
  • the detector 122 detects the forward end of the original 501, and control data are reset in the control means 410 (step S3).
  • step S4 the operator supplies a start command to the control means 410 through the operation panel 450 (step S4), whereby the copying apparatus is controlled in response to the command from the control means 410:, as follows
  • the motor 120 of the original scanning part 100 is driven to feed the original 501 by a prescribed amount (step S5).
  • a motor 230 of the recording part 200 is also driven to feed the copying paper 503 by a feed roller 221 (step S6).
  • a pulse generator 24 coupled to the feed roller 221 outputs pulse signals, which are sequentially counted by the control means 410.
  • illumination light is applied to the original 501 and copying operation is started (step S7). That is, the original 501 is fed in the direction E to be exposed to the illumination light, while reflected light reflected by the original 501 exposes the photosensitive drum 201 through the mirror 101, the apochromatic lens 103 and the mirror 102.
  • a latent image formed on the photosensitive drum 201 is visualized by the developer 205, and thereafter the toner image 502' is recorded on the copying paper 503 by the toner transferor 207.
  • the image 502 on the original 501 is sequentially copied on the copying paper 503.
  • step S8 When the amount of feeding of the copying paper 503 reaches a constant value, driving of the recording part 200 is released to stop recording of the image 502. Further, a prescribed amount of the copying paper 503 is fed, and then feeding of the copying paper 503 is stopped. Then, the copying paper 503 is cut by the rotary cutter 215, to be discharged on a paper receiving tray 220. At the same time, the original 501 is also discharged on the original receiving tray 124, whereby the copying apparatus is stopped (step S8).
  • apochromatic lens 103 is applied to the electrophotocopying apparatus in which the original 501 is scanned as described above the copying apparatus is not restricted to this type of device. Rather, apochromatic lens according to the present invention is applicable to all types of general copying apparatuses.
